What do influence diagrams show?

  1. Risk management plans

  2. Risk responses and appetites

  3. Causal influences and time ordering of events

  4. Strengths and weaknesses of a project

The correct answer is: Causal influences and time ordering of events

Influence diagrams show causal influences and the time ordering of events in a project. They help in visually representing the relationships between various factors and events, helping project managers understand how different elements of a project impact one another and in what sequence they occur. This visualization is crucial for decision-making processes and understanding the dynamics within a project. Option A, risk management plans, is not correct as influence diagrams focus on relationships between events rather than specific plans. Option B, risk responses and appetites, is also incorrect as influence diagrams do not specifically deal with risk responses but rather with causal relationships. Option D, strengths and weaknesses of a project, is not the primary focus of influence diagrams, which are more about illustrating cause-and-effect relationships within a project.
